TOAD is such an inof- fensive old fellow himself, so humble and so unobtrusive, that somehow it is a bit diffi- cult to think of him as ha ing need of being distrustful of any- body. But Old Mr. Toad has lived a long time and out of the wisdom which has made it ible for him to have lived 50 long he has learned that more Is lost by being too trustful than by being needlessly distrustful. Once a year, no matter where he is, Old Mr. Toad journeys to the Smiling Pool and there spends several weeks. It is always in the Spring and there he | spends most of his time singing. Night | and day he sings, not even taking time to eat. He has a most important part In the annual Spring chorus of the Smiling Pool, and he takes it serious- ly He knows that without his voice there would be something sadly lack- ing in the joyous tribute to sweet Mi tress Spring. So he takes his singing very seriously. It was good to be back there in the Bmiling Pool. At first his happiness was complete. He asked nothing more than to swell out that silvery music bag in his throat and add perhaps the sweetest note of all. But after a while he began to sing for another purpose, and in his song was & new note th made it sweeter than ever. He was singing to Mrs. where she was, but singing to her just Star Patterns Flower-Printed Frock.

It was useless to go looking for her. No, there was but one thing to do, and that was to call her to the Smiling Pool. That sooner | or later she would come, providing she | was alive, he had no shadow of doubt. | This always had been their trysting | place in the Spring, and always would | be as long as they lived. But was she alive? Any one of many things might have happened to her in the long time of their scparation. So now as_he sang, he sat himself to watching. ‘ He did not always sing in the same place.

But wherever he was those beautiful golden eyes of his were ever on watch, and nothing went on about him that he did not see. Late one afternoon as he sat singing |he saw Longlegs the Heron come in | from the Big River and drop those |long legs of his to alight not ‘far from {him. Old Mr. Toad stopped singing. | There are times to sing and times not to, and he knew that this was a time not to. Longlegs has a special liking for Frogs, and a Toad is so much like | a Frog, they being cousins, that Old Mr. Toad was distrustful. He feared that Longlegs might not notice the differ- ence, or if he did might not care. So he stopped singing that he might not thus attract attention to himself. He was half hidden verhanging grass, but could see all that went on. For some time Longlegs stood motiol less, his long neck folded back on his shoulders, ready to shoot that great bill of his out and down to seize the careless frog or minnow that might happen to come within reach. Old Mr. Toad wished he would move on. The chorus was in full swing, but not from immediately around Longlegs. Old Mr. Toad wanted to join in, but didn't dare. So he wished that Longlegs would move on. He was distrustful of his presence there. At last Longlegs did move. Very slowly, very carefully he lifted one foot and took a step forward. Very slowly and very, very carefully he lifted the other foot and took another step for- ward. It came to Old Mr. Toad that Longlegs saw some one he hoped to catch. He wondered who it could be, if it were a silly Minnow, or if one of his small cousins, a Hyla, had been careless enough to expose himself. So he watched, waited and wondered. and thought of who it really was never entered his head. ) Your Home and You BY BETSY CALLISTER. To many persons, salt mackerel is an unknown dish.

(4% T'S raining newts,” sald the little boy as he walked through the woods after a Summer shower. But the young Scout knew bet- ter and told him that the bright-colored newt or salamander was only seeking moisture and having a glorious time among the wet leaves. Scooting about, the red, sprawling creatures are so eager to get wet they are not easy to catch. They are dressed in gay and festive orange and red coats, with more black dots on one side than the other and looking as if they had just had an encounter with a pepper- and-salt shaker. Their eyes are blulk. n order to protect these glittering gems, he pulls them back into his head and then closes the slit. Eyelilds he has none. The dots on the tip of his snout are nostrils. I am sure you would never have guessed this. The short legs seem to be inadequate to carry the long body. They are very capable, however, and the front feet four toes, while the hind ones ve five. He uses his front ones like arms and legs. ‘Watching you intently, he is sizing up his chances for a quick getaway. His lower lip tests the surface of the object he touches and his long tail curves and aids him in making his escape. It also is handy to wrap about a twig should the owner so desire. He stalks the juicy aphid, bless him, and thousands of these greedy little plant suckers are consumed by our friend the newt. He steals softly up to the plant. When he is within one-half an inch of them, his throbbing, pulsat- ing throat indicates his excitement. Nearer and nearer the orange snout is shed, and then—zip! A portly aphid is being gulped down, With lightning- like thrusts of the tongue, the diner soon has freed the rosebush from its enemies. Newts are lone travelers unless they are seeking a mate. The courtship of newts is little known, and here is a chance for a young naturalist to be- come famous. For two and a half years the newt lives on land, then he enters the water, dons an olive-green suit, keeps his festive red polka dots and develops a fin which extends along his back. Here his wife places many eggs, carefully an- chored to a water plant, each egg the size of a pea and in a tough envelope. Very soon the baby emerges with its bright red gills, just back of the head, and the gray suit has stripes on its sides. The tail is long and thin, sur- rounded by a fin. As time goes on he turns green above and buff beneath. By August 15 he has acquired legs and has changed his form and is ready to do land dut; He soon is handsomely clad in a brilliant orange suit, and it is at this time you make his acquaint- ance. Beneath stones and in sheltered places under leaves, the newt leads a long and exciting life as he hunts the ant’s cows and the tiny insects about him. As time goes on, he outgrows his tight jackets and, as he is a thrifty fel- low, he swallows them. (Copyright, 1932.)

So the man never can be as sure that he is being married for love alone as the woman can. And, as there is no acid test that he can apply to her to determine the genuineness of her afection, all he can do is just to take her word for it. He can, however, accumulate some circumstantial evidence which will tend to prove or disprove her assertion, and if I were a young man trying to find out just how much a girl cared for me I should make care- reasons. ful note of three things: First, I should observe whether she always wanted to be on the go 1f, every time I called I found her with her hat on, ready to start out somewhere and if she had to be continually amused by being taken to dances and night clubs and theaters and movies and restaurants and if she always wanted to be in a crowd, then I should know that or not she didn't care for me particularly.

If she was always hinting for things and making me spend money that I could not afford; if she always ordered the most expensive things on the menu and nothing would suit her but the highest-priced scats at the theater, then I should know that she had no intention of marrying me. Third, T should notice how she guarded my health and personal safety. 1f she began to worry over what I ate and to caution me about not getting my feet wet and to beg me not to overwork and to warn me when I left of an evening to be careful when I crossed the streets and not to get run over by an automobile, I should know that she was really in love with me.

Any intentional indignity offered to God is cursing Him. Not many would dare curse God directly, but there are multitudes who every day curse Him indirectly. It is equivalent to cursing Him when men use His name in a pro- fane and disrespectful way. And who- soever in any manner blasphemes God shall bear his sin. Many regard blasphemy as a small matter. But the Bible treats it as a most_serious offense. Under the Mo- | topic which is suggested. saic law it was a crime punishable by death, We are not under the law of Moses now, and we are not punished by death for the sin of blasphemy. There is no earthly court to punish the man who profanes the holy name of God, but whoever commits this of- fense will not be held guiltless before the high court of Heaven, “The Lord will not hold him guiltless that taketh His name in vain.” Of all the dark catalogue of sins there is not one more vile and execrable than profaneness. We have been told of the veneration which was paid by the Jews to the name of God. They held His name to be so great, wonder- ful and holy that they would not write it with the same pen used in writing other names and words. They would not let it enter even into their religious discourses. What can we then think of those who make use of the name in the ordinaary expression of their anger and passions? It is a sacrilege s and vulgar that all decent people Let abhor it. it be remembered that every blasphemer “shall bear his sin.” He bears his sin in the degredation of his soul. There is nothing that will more surely remove a man from religious influences than this vicious practice. Removed from these influences one be- comes hardened in his nature and loses the sense of the higher and finer things of life. What could be a more ter- rible penalty? ‘The blasphemer is generally regarded as & coarse and brutal man. By rfi blasphemy he makes himself obnoxio: to others and renders himself ohjec- tionable in all refined society. Leav- ing out the religious side of the mat- ter, if one would be regarded as & man of refinement and culture, if he cares for respect in the better social circles, let him avoid profanity.
